I had heard about this spot and was dying to try it out! This weekend finally presented the perfect opportunity to visit the Mesa location as we found ourselves a bit more East in the valley than we are usually.
Walking in at 2:30 on a Saturday afternoon, we were surprised to find just about every table in the main dining room full - ranging from large groups celebrating birthdays to families to couples.. and just about everything in between. As the old adage goes, all these people can't be wrong when it comes to food.
Our waiter, Brandon, did a fantastic job explaining the menu to us.. noting that the seafood comes as pictured on the menu (aka you have to dismantle the food yourself) and explaining the different sauces and spice levels. Within about 15-20 minutes, our bags of crab and shrimp arrived steaming hot and seeped in the Trifecta sauce (a blend of garlic, ole bay, and paprika I think?) which was absolutely heavenly. Though it would've been easier to disarm the crab using a mallet, we made it work with the seafood scissors.
We wrapped up the meal with Hurricanes to drink.. my first ever! For not being a fan of sweet tasting alcohol, it was pretty good (and had a kick too!)
Can't wait to return!
